                                   Planted Names,2002

Four unique carpets at drayton hall bearing the names of enslaved africans and african americans who built this 1742 palladian house and cultivated this plantation.
"carpets are not about the beauty of an artist's desing, but about the labor of the carpet maker. So I chose carpets as the form to celebrate their labor and time."
